Most of the articles on this site so far are about how many pop culture icons and movies suck. However, those who critique have a responsibility to defend that which shows great promise, and I want to illustrate how a certain superhero movie coming out next spring will in all likelihood irreparably rock your face off.
The world just shit its pants.
I’m not a stickler on grammar, or spellign mistakes, nor do I demand the proper usage of the more esoteric literary devices [sic]. You’ll never hear me correct anyone on the proper use of a word or literary device in person, in an email, or even in IM. But god damn, I am shocked and appalled when I face the overwhelming over-use and arbitrary use of the ellipsis dots “…” in emails, IMs, and comments. Let me focus in on the epidemic of the ellipsis in emails.
Have you ever received an email in which all punctuation was replaced by someone taking a shit on the proper use of an ellipsis?
Ok guys, so here is the most popular movie of the year in review. The polls are in, the critics are both baffled and ecstatic. The #1 movie of the year also happens to have the #1 most popular movie star, it’s a double threat, a quadruple threat, a google-tuplet threat!!!!!!@@!! The movie is…

I’m providing this information here because I hope I can save you that time and hassle.
If you just watched the ‘MTV VMA’ 2007 show (an acronym which confusingly stands for “music television video music awards”) you’re just as bewildered as I am that even among the so-called spectacle that MTV makes of their manufactured celebrities, even taking into account the cynical MTV-resentful eyes that most of us look at the world of music, this show was not only painful to watch, but also boring as shit. But beyond that, it became somewhat surprisingly apparent that the music of 2006-2007 god damn fucking sucked.
Of all the things that college failed to prepare me properly for in life, I think the biggest failing was not briefing me or at least warning me about how to get good health insurance. Unless you majored in health insurance, I think you’ll probably agree with me.
My parents always covered me under their work health insurance plans. It was great, they paid a little bit extra every month, and we all felt safer knowing that we were all covered under some group plan that offered awesome rates and low deductibles and co-pays.
